Managing Data Reduction
Data Reduction uses compression and deduplication to decrease the amount of disk space used by volume data. Compression
reduces the amount of space used by a volume by encoding data. Deduplication finds duplicate pages and removes them,
conserving the disk space that would be used by additional copies. When deduplication is used, compression is also applied to a
volume.
NOTE: Data Reduction is available in Storage Center version 7.0 or later.
